Question: The proper response to a tire blowout is to:
Answer options:
- Brake hard ✅ Grip wheel, ease off gas and steer straight
- Pull parking brake
- Swerve
Correct answer: Grip wheel, ease off gas and steer straight
Explanation: When a tire blows out, keeping a firm grip on the steering wheel while easing off the accelerator allows you to maintain directional control and prevent the vehicle from pulling toward the flat tire. Braking hard or pulling the parking brake can lock the wheels and trigger a severe skid, while sudden swerving will likely cause a rollover or collision. Under ICBC safety guidelines, maintaining vehicle stability through steady steering and gradual deceleration is the correct protocol for sudden tire failure. Class 7 exam-takers must remember that in almost all emergency handling scenarios, avoiding sudden, panicked inputs like hard braking is the key to passing.
